5,399
Solid mid-range speed for everyday rendering and moderate scenes.
12 GB
Adequate for mid-complexity scenes; may need care with very large textures.
5,888
Solid core count for most Blender rendering tasks.
Ada Lovelace
Current-generation design with efficient ray tracing and strong Cycles throughput.
504.2 GB/s
Moderate bandwidth — sufficient for standard rendering workloads.
2475 MHz
Standard clock speed for modern GPUs.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
200 W
Relatively efficient — manageable in most desktop builds.

Benchmark performance
This chart estimates how many seconds this GPU takes to render one frame of each standard Blender benchmark scene, so you can compare practical rendering speed at a glance.
These are single-frame estimates derived from Blender Open Data benchmark medians at the scene sample counts, not full-animation render times or guarantees for every real project.
